PowToon

I recently located an excellent piece of animation software which allows you or your students to create simple yet professional looking animations.    The software in question is called PowToons.

Find an example here of a simple  demonstration video I produced.

With a little time and effort it should be possible to create simple animations which could be used as part of a flipped classroom or just as either starter activities or plenaries.

My thanks go to Francis Higgins (@fjhig) for bringing this software to my attention.
